Wicked Incognito Now's Reviews > Ill Wind
Ill Wind (Weather Warden, #1)
by
by
Urban fantasy series about an organization (the Weather Wardens) that use specialized powers to keep the weather from destroying the world (along with Earth and Fire Wardens) and the Djinn that they use to assist them.
I love the tone the writer uses. Very fast, witty and quippy. Very big on the "I'm a kick-ass woman who loves muscle cars, sex, and driving fast, but I still love pretty clothes and designer coffees." Several clever turns of phrase here.
The story starts out in the middle of action. Which several reviewers here complained about. I found it engaging. By starting with the action, we dispense with all that boring build-up of setting and rising action and get right to it. The author dropped informational nuggets into the story in the form of flashbacks to get us up to speed, in the meantime...the reader is treated to an action-packed romp.

I agree with you, I found the style engaging too. I loved that Jo was so into her cars. It really added a nice touch for me. It was fun getting to spend some time with "Delilah" and "Mona."
